The Giants top prospect made the majors in 2025, giving a glimpse into his potential, as well as the things he needs to work on.
These are just my opinions. I cannot promise that I will be perfect, but I can promise that I will seek to understand and illuminate whatever moves that the Giants make (my obsession and compulsion). I will share my love of baseball and my passion for the Giants. And I will try to teach, best that I can. Often, I tackle the prevailing mood among Giants fans and see if that is a correct stance, good or bad.

Bailey is probably the most misunderstood player on the Giants roster, now that Mike Yastrzemski is no longer on the team. Players with good defense but only okay offense gets maligned because their defensive value isn’t recognized (like JT Snow). Many fans want him gone, mainly because of his bat. Many also think his framing skills advantage will disappear with the new ABS system.
The Giants Front Office did their annual past season (they call it postseason, but I associate that with the playoffs) press conference, which is available on YouTube. Posey doubled down on and reiterated what he said in last year’s press conferences about the Giants strategy: pitching and defense. He also said it again in this NBC Sports snippet.
He said the Giants this offseason will focus on starting pitching, noting how he thought they had SP depth at the start of the season and learned the adage that you never can have enough pitching. He also noted that they will pursue bullpen help as well.
